5. Petronas Tower 2, located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, built in 1998, 88 stories, and 1,483 ft high.
I'm not sure about the 5. but the top 3 are, (as of April 2012):
1. the Freedom Tower which is still in construction but already the tallest.
3. Chrysler building
maybe in the future there will be new bigger buildings bigger than the ones today.

Just a bizarre thought that it might have something to do with the elevation of Denver - hence the moniker, "Mile High City". New York may have taller buildings (although being home to the tallest buildings in the world is a bit misinformed - the two tallest skyscrapers in the USA (ranking 9th and 12th in the world) are both in Chicago, while New York's tallest skyscraper - the Empire State Building - ranks 22nd amongst the world's skyscrapers (11th if you count the antennas, which are a non-architectural extension).
The tallest building in US is the Willis Tower in Chicago, which measures 442 metres (1,450 ft.). The second tallest building is the Empire State Building in New York City, which measures 381 metres (1,250 ft.). The Freedom Tower in New York City will measure 541 metres (1,776 ft.) *Since 21st November 2008.

First of all, most of the world's tallest buildings are not in New York. The Empire State Building held the record for World's Tallest Building from the time of its completion in 1931, until it was surpassed by World Trade Center 1 (the North Tower) in 1972.The World Trade Center lost the title for World's Tallest Building in 1973, when it was surpassed by Sears Tower (aka Willis Tower) in Chicago. New York has not been home to the World's Tallest Building since. And ever since the World Trade Towers were knocked down, none of the buildings in New York City are anywhere near record-breaking.Secondly, even if New York City were still home to the world's tallest buildings, it would not preclude other very tall buildings from being built elsewhere. You seem to be suggesting that every very tall building should be built in New York, just because there are already a lot of very tall buildings in New York. There is no logic to that suggestion whatsoever. It's completely arbitrary. You might as well say that ice cream should not be sold in the Southern U.S. states because it doesn't get cold in the winter in those states. The two things are completely unrelated.AnswerNew York is at sea level, or relatively close to it. Denver is at a much higher elevation. (Colorado's got the Rocky Mountains. New York City doesn't.) The "Mile High" refers to elevation, not height.
